I hate to mention the issue of homosexuality, but I think this post is helpful. Kevin DeYoung deals with why this issue isn’t like other areas where Christians might disagree. This issue isn’t like the millennium. As DeYoung writes: “At its root, support for homosexual behavior is not simply a different interpretation of Scripture; it is a rejection of Scripture itself.”

People can and do reject scripture itself. And, I believe that people ought to have the right to reject scripture. Those of us who believe that scripture is inspired by God (2Ti 3:16) don’t have the option of doing so. But, again, I do think that American citizens should have the right to reject the authority of scripture if they so desire.

See, we’re not that far apart! Since I the Word of God is MY ultimate authority, I must submit to its direction. Jesus commands me to make disciples. I’d like to think that I don’t coerce. Rather, my message is simply Jesus’ message: “Come to me (Jesus) all who who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” If someone desires to hear what I say, fine. If not, I’m good with that too. That is their right.
